Sen. Rand Paul Detained by TSA at Nashville Airport

23 Jan 2012

On the list of stupid things the Transportation Security Administration could do for their public image: detaining Senator Rand Paul, the politician most anxious to abolish them is probably right near the top.

But that’s exactly what just happened, his spokeswoman, Moira Bagley has confirmed it in a tweet.

There is currently no information on why the Senator was detained, or why he is considered a threat to fly.

But I think we can safely say that the liberty-loving Senator is likely to be a threat to the TSA from now on.
